lol on an engine with an inverted carb you cant prime the engine like that. all of the fuel just falls out the hole (as you found out). you need to apply the starter and have the engine at full throttle, then the gas will go against gravity and into the cylinder
Guys, the plug heater actually was not connected to batteries. You just do not see the whole picture. I used power panel with two banana-plugs. Please watch the clip carefully, right before application of the starter I connect the heater to the batteries with my left hand.
I don't care what carlosmurphy4u1 says about it! It is absolutely crazy to hand turn the prop with glow attached! I saw a fellow at our field do the same thing with his MOKI 210 and lost 2 fingers and serious tendon damage on both hands. Not worth the risk.
To prime I take glow off and turn over with starter, then go live and she starts first try. No professional in his right mind would advise hand crank prop with live glow....insane!!!
Pulling the prop through with the plug lit is proper procedure for starting 4-strokes and some larger 2-stroke engines especially when your not using a starter. I would always start my Moki 210 that way, lite the plug, cover the carb with a finget tip, pull the 20" carbon prop through till it kicked back, grab the spinner and flip it backwards and she would fire-up. Just be sure you have a good grip on the prop when pulling it through, I've never hurt myself while doing this.

Take the glow off before turning the prop, the smallest amount of fuel can kick that prop at high speed.

That is caused by priming. Only thing is that it is not safe to prime with the glow battery attached!!
